NovelAppAfter coming out of the police station, they went straight to a nearby restaurant.
Scarlett wasn't obsessive about cleanliness, but she preferred a quiet and clean dining environment.
She couldn't make herself uncomfortable just to disgust Raymond.
It was not worth it! Since they were well dressed and pretty, they attracted a lot of attention just after they entered the restaurant.
The waiter guided them to a window table. Scarlett took a seat and briskly ordered food.
Raymond cto eat hot pot for the first time. He couldn't stand the strong smells around him.
He glanced at Scarlett across the table. She was looking down at the menu and ordering seriously. She seemed relaxed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe knew she was doing that on purpose, but he was pleased.
Raymond opened the menu. Looking through it, he didn't want to eat anything here.
Scarlett ordered what she liked. She checked and found that Raymond hadn't ordered anything. She looked up at him, raised her eyebrows, and called him.
The man gazed up at her. "Yes?" His eyes were intense. He had never looked at her like this before.
Scarlett pursed her lips, suddenly feeling bored. She bit her tongue and changed her mind. "There's another restaurant upstairs. You should like the food there." She rarely spoke so peacefully to him. There was no sarcasm in her words.
Raymond, however, was upset. "Why do you think | don't like hot pot?" Scarlett almost said, "You're a neat freak." But she finally held back. "You didn't order anything." "It's my first there." Scarlett recommended many dishes to him. "They taste good! You can eat them as soon as the water boils." She chose the dishes that Raymond disliked. She had thought Raymond would leave in a huff. However, he accepted her suggestions and ordered every dish that she mentioned.
Neither of them was willing to give in. Scarlett called the waiter. It seemed that she lost to him in this round.
The waiter soon brought the pots to the table.
Scarlett ordered the pots with two kinds of soup ingredients. She didn't eat spicy food. She just wanted to tease Raymond.
As expected, Raymond's expression changed when he saw the pots.
Scarlett washed her plate and chopsticks with hot water. The dishes she ordered were served.
The strong smells drifted from the dishes that were placed by Raymond's side.
She put the vegetables into the pot and used the ladle t o cook beef.
Across the table, Raymond stood still, enduring the sharp smells.
He stared at Scarlett, who didn't look uncomfortable at all.
Raymond wondered why people would like to eat something like hot pot. They had to continuously stir the food in the soup. It was not elegant at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, he had no complaints against Scarlett. He just hated the smells from the dishes in front of him.
Scarlett ignored him, eating unhurriedly.
Raymond sat there, holding the chopsticks, but he didn't eat anything.
He wanted to eat, but he had never eaten hot pot before, so he didn't know if those ingredients were cooked.
A plate of a few pieces of beef was pushed to him. Raymond froze.
He looked at Scarlett, his eyes twinkling.
"This tastes fresh." Scarlett didn't want to tease him anymore, beckoned the waiter, and asked him to take away the dishes.
She didn't like to eat these dishes either.
"Miss, may | ask what's wrong?" She asked the waiter to remove three dishes. He naturally wanted to ask for the reason.
Scarlett glanced at Raymond. "Nothing. | ordered the wrong dishes. You can give these dishes to the guests at the next table." Scarlett pointed to the young people sitting at the next table.
"Okay, I'll send these to them." Scarlett nodded. "Thank you."
